Ah, I think the logging you are talking about is the output of mencoder itself - not PMS. I compared MencoderVideo.java and FFmpegVideo.java and there is no significant difference in logging between the two.

Perhaps ffmpeg has a flag to produce more output?Add that flag, and the info will probably show up in the debug.log.

what i notice though is it uses -loglevel fatal, and it has no reference to fatal in that .java file. mencoder shows stuff like the version what codecs its using and kbits and stuff like 15-20 lines, yeah its from the actual program. i guess if ffmpeg -loglevel (not fatal but something less fatal) it would show something similiar, im not really that great at knowing logging levels. its not a huge deal but if a dev knows how to get it to show abit of info and likes the idea it would be nice to do since mencoder does it. make it more uniform like.
